The Team
part 1
On 15 June 1997, a Japanese businessman, Mr. Fuchiwaki, gathered a group of students and introduced them the sport game of baseball. He taught them, students from former Foreign Trading University, very first lessons about baseball. All the equipments were brought from Japan with the help of Mr.Aso Daisaku-the wonderful coach and Mr. Nakamura-a big friend.
After that they invited students from other university in HoChiMinh city, Polytechnic, Architechture, Natural Sciences... to join them.
At first, we played at a corner in Gia Dinh park, GoVap district. Then we hired a soccer field in district 12, it was called Cay Sop. Warm up started at 5:30 in the morning.
In 1998, we made the uniform, it was Saigon Baseball the name of the team since then.
In 1999, we arranged a public performance at Youth Culture House to introduce the game to Ho Chi Minh young people.
All our equipments in the period was donated by Japanese great friends. The running fee was partly shared by players.
Mr. Fuchiwaki passed away in 2001.
An U.S. teacher started to help us as the next coach. His name is Tommy Charles.
